Commercial Services

ElectraLink’s data transfer service (DTS) is the energy industry’s most effective mechanism for communicating with all market participants in a smarter world, which can be accessed on either a regulated or commercial service contract.

The DTS is a unique component of the UK energy market, transferring data securely between all actors to support competition, innovation and low costs for consumers. Among our gateway options, we offer next-generation cloud and virtual private network (VPN) technology. We offer an innovative suite of value-added commercial services including file validation, auditing and centralised reporting. We have a deep understanding of the commercial requirements of energy market participants and central code bodies. Parties developing ways to interact with the energy industry have found a commercial DTS connection of value, enabling you to test message structures and interactions with the live environment, and by arrangement, with your customers.

Please note that connections requiring physical on-site infrastructure have a lengthy lead time, and therefore in the majority of cases a Remote User Gateway (RUG) is an efficient technology solution for most message volumes.

A commercial DTS connection can be combined with other services, e.g. Check-IT to facilitate accelerated development and testing cycles.

Privacy Policy

We have updated our Privacy Policy to be transparent about how we use your data and keep it safe. We have also included changes to address the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which comes into effect on 25th May 2018.
